Ohio State Suspends Jim Tressel 2 Games, Fines Him $250,000

The NCAA probably won't, but can (and should) step in and give Tressel a harsher punishment.

As ESPN's Joe Schad said, Ohio State handing out Tressel's punishment is like a parent asking a kid how he/she should be punished. They'll likely pick a lighter punishment than deserved.

In this case, Tressel knew about the five players' wrongdoings. He knew throughout the 2010 season.

And he let them play anyway.

In my personal opinion, two games and $250,000 is not harsh enough of a punishment.
